World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2017: Live from Melbourne

We are now just days away from the World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2017 for which S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna are the official water. The fifteenth edition of world-renowned gastronomic awards event takes place in Australia for the first time ever on 5 April at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne. It will be live streamed from 8pm AEST (12pm CEST) on Fine Dining Lovers.

Will Italy’s Massimo Bottura take the top title for the second year in a row with his Modena-based Osteria Francescana? Or will the Spanish Roca brothers, who were placed second in 2016, regain the top spot with their Girona-based El Celler de Can Roca? Or will Daniel Humm and Will Guidara’s New York-based Eleven Madison Park, last year’s number 3, emerge victorious?

The World’s 50 Best programme will commence this year with a series of events that include #50BestTalks sponsored by S.Pellegrino and Aqua Panna. The #50BestTalks will be an opportunity for food lovers to get a rare insight into the world’s best restaurants and hear from the world’s best chefs on what drives them and gives them that extra edge.

On 1 April #50BestTalks Sydney at the Sydney Opera House will feature Massimo Bottura, Dominique Crenn, Peter Gilmore and Brett Graham. On 3 April #50BestTalks Melbourne at Margaret Court Arena will feature Daniel Humm, Will Guidara, Gaggan Anand, Jordi Roca and Grant Achatz.
